after you have suffered a while.....

A message to the young and not so young in my life through the apostle Peter from the Holy Spirit . . . .how relevant for today
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:5-11)
What a relevant word for today . . .for the young and not-so-young! Satan is definitely roaring around these days, yet we must stay humble before the Lord, obey authorities and seek His face! after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.


He is at work!  When it is all over, if we have stayed in Him and His will, He will bring us through better and more perfected than when it all began. We will have a story to tell. Do not forget these times!

What is God doing in your life? Write it down. Keep God close. Give Him freedom to work. What a God we serve!!!!
